Despite the game's technical roughness and low-budget feel, its design is truly one-of-a-kind. Every inch of its exaggerated dark Soviet brutalism enhances the atmosphere and immersion, making for a uniquely compelling experience. For that reason alone, it’s worth giving a chance.
There is a lot of good old games but i have to vote for You Are Empty. Sadly this game is not running on new AMD cards. Crashes, and visual glitches makes it unplayable.
This game is an absolute hidden gem. You want some soviet-block brutalist vibes mixed with a Bioshock-esc feel? Then you'll be right at home here! I found this game while browsing abandonware titles, only finding a working version of the title on Moddb. The game starts off horror-adjacent, giving a vibe that vaguely reminded me of Condemned 2. As you proceed, the game leans more heavily into an action feel, giving you access to a larger arsenal of weapons (as do the enemy's). The movement of the game is steady; in it that you wont be sprinting around like in a title like Half-Life, but closer to the pace of a Bioshock title. The weapons are varied, are satisfying to use, and can yield some very fun results when in use thanks to the games ragdolling enemies. When you aren't in combat, you'll be taking in the gorgeous set pieces and stellar audio design, locking you into to the brutal world you are now trying to survive in. There are only two issues that I can think of when recalling my experience with the game, which I would debate actually added to the experience. Firstly; The ragdolling enemies occasionally get stuck in the worlds environments, leading to them flailing around in place (think Fallout 3 ragdolls). This wont break the game, it'll just create some audio from the enemy as they're thrashing around, as well as from you as you die of laughter. The English dub work for this title is also bad, but a good bad, like Resident Evil on the PSX bad. While there is very little speech in this game, when someone is talking expect to get a good chuckle from the performances that the voice actors gave. Overall, this is an absolute hidden gem and a game well deserving to be brought forward on GOG. The story is a blast, gameplay is stellar, and it has the perfect flavor of jank to give you a chuckle along the way. And if it isnt brought forward, I will be thankful that the abandonware version on Moddb functions on modern systems
Bought it on a whim at a GameStop back when they sold PC games, and it honestly scared me with its post apocalyptic Soviet style, it was dreary and dark, yet was a blast to experience and needs way more love than it got at the time.
